General description
The BNO055 is a System in Package (SiP), integrating a triaxial 14-bit accelerometer, a

triaxial 16-bit gyroscope with a range of 2000 degrees per second, a triaxial geomagnetic
sensor and a 32-bit cortex M0+ microcontroller running Bosch Sensortec sensor fusion
software, in a single package.
The corresponding chip-sets are integrated into one single 28-pin LGA 3.8mm x 5.2mm x
1.1 mm housing. For optimum system integration the BNO055 is equipped with digital bi-
directional I2C and UART interfaces. The I2C interface can be programmed to run with the
HID-I2C protocol turning the BNO055 into a plug-and-play sensor hub solution for devices
running the Windows 8.0 or 8.1 operating system.

3. Functional Description
3.1 Architecture
The following figure shows the basic building blocks of the BNO055 device.
Figure 1: system architecture
3.2 Power management
The BNO055 has two distinct power supply pins:

VDD is the main power supply for the internal sensors
VDDIO is a separate power supply pin used for the supply of the C and the digital interfaces
For the switching sequence of power supply VDD and VDDIO it is mandatory that VDD is powered
on and driven to the specified level before or at the same time as VDDIO is powered ON.
Otherwise there are no limitations on the voltage levels of both pins relative to each other, as
long as they are used within the specified operating range.
The sensor features a power-on reset (POR), initializing the register map with the default
values and starting in CONFIG mode. The POR is executed at every power on and can also
be triggered either by applying a low signal to the nRESET pin for at least 20ns or by setting
the RST_SYS bit in the SYS_TRIGGER register.
The BNO055 can be configured to run in one of the following power modes: normal mode,
low power mode, and suspend mode. These power modes are described in more detail in
section Power Modes

BNO055
Data sheet Page 19
Power Modes
The BNO055 support three different power modes: Normal mode, Low Power Mode, and
Suspend mode.
The power mode can be selected by writing to the PWR_MODE register as defined in the
table below. As default at start-up the BNO055 will run in Normal mode.
Table 3-1: power modes selection

Parameter Value [Reg Addr]: Reg Value
Power Mode Normal Mode [PWR_MODE]: xxxxxx00b
Low Power Mode [PWR_MODE]: xxxxxx01b
Suspend Mode [PWR_MODE]: xxxxxx10b
3.2.1 Normal Mode

In normal mode all sensors required for the selected operating mode (see section 3.3) are
always switched ON. The register map and the internal peripherals of the MCU are always
operative in this mode.
3.2.2 Low Power Mode

If no activity (i.e. no motion) is detected for a configurable duration (default 5 seconds), the
BNO055 enters the low power mode. In this mode only the accelerometer is active. Once
motion is detected (i.e. the accelerometer signals an any-motion interrupt), the system is
woken up and normal mode is entered. The following settings are possible.
Table 3-2: Low power modes - Interrupts

Waking up: Any Detection Type Detection Axis [ACC_INT_Settings] : bit4-bit2
Motion Interrupt
Params Duration [ACC_INT_Settings] : bit1-bit0
Threshold [ACC_AM_THRES] : bit7-bit0
Additionally, the interrupt pins can also be configured to provide HW interrupt to the host.
The BNO055 is by default configured to have optimum values for entering into sleep and
waking up. To restore these values, trigger system reset by setting RST_SYS bit in
SYS_TRIGGER register.
There are some limitations to achieve the low power mode performance:
Only No and Any motion interrupts are applicable and High-G and slow motion
interrupts are not applicable in low power mode.
Low power mode is not applicable where accelerometer is not employed.

BNO055
Data sheet Page 20
3.2.3 Suspend Mode

In suspend mode the system is paused and all the sensors and the microcontroller are put
into sleep mode. No values in the register map will be updated in this mode. To exit from
suspend mode the mode should be changed by writing to the PWR_MODE register (see
Table 3-1).
3.3 Operation Modes
The BNO055 provides a variety of output signals, which can be chosen by selecting the
appropriate operation mode. The table below lists the different modes and the available
sensor signals.

The default operation mode after power-on is CONFIGMODE.
When the user changes to another operation mode, the sensors which are required in that
particular sensor mode are powered, while the sensors whose signals are not required are
set to suspend mode.

BNO055
Data sheet Page 21
The BNO055 sets the following default settings for the sensors. The user can overwrite these
settings in the register map when in CONFIGMODE.

Magnetometer NA 10 Hz
Gyroscope 2000 dps 32 Hz
In any mode, the sensor data are available in the data register based on the unit selected.
The axis of the data is configured based on the axis-remap register configuration.
The operating mode can be selected by writing to the OPR_MODE register, possible register
values and the corresponding operating modes are shown in the table below.

Data sheet Page 22
3.3.1 Config Mode

This mode is used to configure BNO, wherein all output data is reset to zero and sensor
fusion is halted. This is the only mode in which all the writable register map entries can be
changed. (Exceptions from this rule are the interrupt registers (INT and INT_MSK) and the
operation mode register (OPR_MODE), which can be modified in any operation mode.)
As being said, this mode is the default operation mode after power-on or RESET. Any other
mode must be chosen to be able to read any sensor data.
3.3.2 Non-Fusion Modes

3.3.2.1 ACCONLY
If the application requires only raw accelerometer data, this mode can be chosen. In this
mode the other sensors (magnetometer, gyro) are suspended to lower the power
consumption. In this mode, the BNO055 behaves like a stand-alone acceleration sensor.
3.3.2.1 MAGONLY
In MAGONLY mode, the BNO055 behaves like a stand-alone magnetometer, with
acceleration sensor and gyroscope being suspended.
3.3.2.2 GYROONLY
In GYROONLY mode, the BNO055 behaves like a stand-alone gyroscope, with acceleration
sensor and magnetometer being suspended.
3.3.2.3 ACCMAG
Both accelerometer and magnetometer are switched on, the user can read the data from
these two sensors.
3.3.2.4 ACCGYRO
Both accelerometer and gyroscope are switched on; the user can read the data from these
two sensors.
3.3.2.5 MAGGYRO
Both magnetometer and gyroscope are switched on, the user can read the data from these
two sensors.
3.3.2.6 AMG (ACC-MAG-GYRO)
All three sensors accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope are switched on.
3.3.3 Fusion modes

Sensor fusion modes are meant to calculate measures describing the orientation of the
device in space. It can be distinguished between non-absolute or relative orientation and
absolute orientation. Absolute orientation means orientation of the sensor with respect to the
earth and its magnetic field. In other words, absolute orientation sensor fusion modes
calculate the direction of the magnetic north pole.
In non-absolute or relative orientation modes, the heading of the sensor can vary depending
on how the sensor is placed initially.
All fusion modes provide the heading of the sensor as quaternion data or in Euler angles
(roll, pitch and yaw angle). The acceleration sensor is both exposed to the gravity force and
to accelerations applied to the sensor due to movement. In fusion modes it is possible to
separate the two acceleration sources, and thus the sensor fusion data provides separately
linear acceleration (i.e. acceleration that is applied due to movement) and the gravity vector.

BNO055
Data sheet Page 23
3.3.3.1 IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)

In the IMU mode the relative orientation of the BNO055 in space is calculated from the
accelerometer and gyroscope data. The calculation is fast (i.e. high output data rate).
3.3.3.2 COMPASS
The COMPASS mode is intended to measure the magnetic earth field and calculate the
geographic direction.
The earth magnetic field is a vector with the horizontal components x,y and the vertical z
component. It depends on the position on the globe and natural iron occurrence. For heading
calculation (direction of compass pointer) only the horizontal components x and y are used.
Therefore the vector components of the earth magnetic field must be transformed in the
horizontal plane, which requires the knowledge of the direction of the gravity vector. To
summarize, the heading can only be calculated when considering gravity and magnetic field
at the same time.
However, the measurement accuracy depends on the stability of the surrounding magnetic
field. Furthermore, since the earth magnetic field is usually much smaller than the magnetic
fields that occur around and inside electronic devices, the compass mode requires calibration
(see chapter 3.10)
3.3.3.3 M4G (Magnet for Gyroscope)

The M4G mode is similar to the IMU mode, but instead of using the gyroscope signal to
detect rotation, the changing orientation of the magnetometer in the magnetic field is used.
Since the magnetometer has much lower power consumption than the gyroscope, this mode
is less power consuming in comparison to the IMU mode. There are no drift effects in this
mode which are inherent to the gyroscope.
However, as for compass mode, the measurement accuracy depends on the stability of the
surrounding magnetic field.
For this mode no magnetometer calibration is required and also not available.
3.3.3.4 NDOF_FMC_OFF
This fusion mode is same as NDOF mode, but with the Fast Magnetometer Calibration
turned OFF.
3.3.3.5 NDOF
This is a fusion mode with 9 degrees of freedom where the fused absolute orientation data is
calculated from accelerometer, gyroscope and the magnetometer. The advantages of
combining all three sensors are a fast calculation, resulting in high output data rate, and high
robustness from magnetic field distortions. In this mode the Fast Magnetometer calibration is
turned ON and thereby resulting in quick calibration of the magnetometer and higher output
data accuracy. The current consumption is slightly higher in comparison to the
NDOF_FMC_OFF fusion mode.

3.5 Sensor Configuration

The fusion outputs of the BNO055 are tightly linked with the sensor configuration settings.
Due to this fact, the sensor configuration is limited when BNO055 is configured to run in any
of the fusion operating mode. In any of the non-fusion modes the configuration settings can
be updated by writing to the configuration registers as defined in the following sections.
3.5.1 Default sensor configuration

At power-on the sensors are configured with the default settings as defined in Table 3-8
below.

3.5.2 Accelerometer configuration

The fusion outputs of the BNO055 are tightly linked with the accelerometer sensor settings.
Therefore the configuration possibilities are restricted when running in any of the fusion
operating modes. The accelerometer configuration can be changed by writing to the
ACC_Config register, Table below shows different Accelerometer configurations

mode when switching from config mode to any BNO operation mode. This used to achieve
the BNO low power mode performance.

3.6.4 Sensor calibration data

The following section describes the register holding the calibration data of the sensors (see
chapter 3.11). The offset and radius data can be read from these registers and stored in the
host system, which could be later used to get the correct orientation data after Power on
Reset of the sensor.
3.6.4.1 Accelerometer offset

3.7 Data register shadowing

This section describes the two methods to read sensor data from the BNO055 register map.
In the first method also called multi byte read (or burst read) the data consistency is ensured
by data register shadowing and hence the LSB and MSB of each axis are all referring to the
same instance (refer section 4.6 I2C read access)
Whereas in the single byte reads, the MSB may get updated when the data in LSB is read
and thereby resulting in data inconsistency.
So depending upon the application, the user may select the type of data read to ensure that
the correct data is being read.

3.8 Interrupts
3.8.1 Interrupt Pin
INT is configured as interrupt pin for signaling an interrupt to the host. The interrupt trigger is
configured as raising edge and is latched on to the INT pin. Once an interrupt occurs, the INT
pin is set to high and will remain high until it is reset by host. This can be done by setting
RST_INT in SYS_TRIGGER register.
Interrupts can be enabled by setting the corresponding bit in the interrupt enable register
(INT_EN) and disabled when it is cleared.
Interrupt Pin Masking
Interrupts can be routed to the INT pin by setting the corresponding interrupt bit in the
INT_MSK register.
Interrupt Status
Interrupt occurrences are stored in the interrupt status register (INT_STA). All bits in this
register are cleared on read.
3.8.2 Interrupt Settings

3.8.2.1 Accelerometer Slow/No Motion Interrupt
The slow-motion/no-motion interrupt engine can be configured in two modes.
Slow-motion Interrupt is triggered when the measured slope of at least one enabled axis
exceeds the programmable slope threshold for a programmable number of samples. Hence
the engine behaves similar to the any-motion interrupt, but with a different set of parameters.
In order to suppress false triggers, the interrupt is only generated (cleared) if a certain
number N of consecutive slope data points is larger (smaller) than the slope threshold given
by slo_no_mot_dur<1:0>. The number is N = slo_no_mot_dur<1:0> + 1.
In no-motion mode an interrupt is generated if the slope on all selected axes remains smaller
than a programmable threshold for a programmable delay time. Figure 11 shows the timing
diagram for the no-motion interrupt. The scaling of the threshold value is identical to that of
the slow-motion interrupt. However, in no-motion mode register slo_no_mot_dur defines the
delay time before the no-motion interrupt is triggered.
Table 3-39 lists the delay times adjustable with register slo_no_mot_dur. The timer tick
period is 1 second. Hence using short delay times can result in considerable timing
uncertainty.
If bit SM/NM is set to 1 (0), the no-motion/slow-motion interrupt engine is configured in the
no-motion (slow-motion) mode. Common to both modes, the engine monitors the slopes of
the axes that have been enabled with bits AM/NM_X_AXIS, AM/NM_Y_AXIS, and
AM/NM_Z_AXIS for the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis, respectively. The measured slope values
are continuously compared against the threshold value defined in register ACC_NM_THRES.
The scaling is such that 1 LSB of ACC_NM_THRES corresponds to 3.91 mg in 2g-range
(7.81 mg in 4g-range, 15.6 mg in 8g-range and 31.3 mg in 16g-range). Therefore the
maximum value is 996 mg in 2g-range (1.99g in 4g-range, 3.98g in 8g-range and 7.97g in
16g-range). The time difference between the successive acceleration samples depends on
the selected bandwidth and equates to 1/(2 * bw).

3.8.2.2 Accelerometer Any Motion Interrupt
The any-motion interrupt uses the slope between successive acceleration signals to detect
changes in motion. An interrupt is generated when the slope (absolute value of acceleration
difference) exceeds a preset threshold. It is cleared as soon as the slope falls below the
threshold. The principle is made clear in Figure 2: Principle of any-motion detection.

Figure 2: Principle of any-motion detection
The threshold is defined through register ACC_AM_THRES. In terms of scaling 1 LSB of

ACC_AM_THRES corresponds to 3.91 mg in 2g-range (7.81 mg in 4g-range, 15.6 mg in 8g-
range and 31.3 mg in 16g-range). Therefore the maximum value is 996 mg in 2g-range
(1.99g in 4g-range, 3.98g in 8g-range and 7.97g in 16g-range).
The time difference between the successive acceleration signals depends on the selected
bandwidth and equates to 1/(2*bandwidth) (t=1/(2*bw)). In order to suppress false triggers,
the interrupt is only generated (cleared) if a certain number N of consecutive slope data
points is larger (smaller) than the slope threshold given by ACC_AM_THRES. This number is
set by the AM_DUR bits. It is N = AM_DUR + 1.

Enabling (disabling) for each axis:
Any-motion detection can be enabled (disabled) for each axis separately by writing 1 (0)
to bits AM/NM_X_AXIS, AM/NM_Y_AXIS, AM/NM_Z_AXIS. The criteria for any-motion
detection are fulfilled and the slope interrupt is generated if the slope of any of the enabled
axes exceeds the threshold ACC_AM_THRES for [AM_DUR +1] consecutive times. As soon
as the slopes of all enabled axes fall or stay below this threshold for [AM_DUR +1]
consecutive times the interrupt is cleared unless interrupt signal is latched.

3.8.2.3 Accelerometer High G Interrupt
This interrupt is based on the comparison of acceleration data against a high-g threshold for
the detection of shock or other high-acceleration events.
The high-g interrupt is enabled (disabled) per axis by writing 1 (0) to bits ACC_HIGH_G in
the INT_EN register and enabling the axis in with bits HG_X_AXIS, HG_Y_AXIS, and
HG_Z_AXIS, respectively in the ACC_INT_Settings register. The high-g threshold is set
through the ACC_HG_THRES register. The meaning of an LSB of ACC_HG_THRES
depends on the selected g-range: it corresponds to 7.81 mg in 2g-range, 15.63 mg in 4g-
range, 31.25 mg in 8g-range, and 62.5 mg in 16g-range (i.e. increment depends from g-
range setting).
The high-g interrupt is generated if the absolute value of the acceleration of at least one of
the enabled axes (or relation) is higher than the threshold for at least the time defined by
the ACC_HG_DURATION register. The interrupt is reset if the absolute value of the
acceleration of all enabled axes (and relation) is lower than the threshold for at least the
time defined by the ACC_HG_DURATION register. The interrupt status is stored in bit
ACC_HIGH_G in the INT_STA register. The relation between the content of
ACC_HG_DURATION and the actual delay of the interrupt generation is delay [ms] =
[ACC_HG_DURATION + 1] * 2 ms. Therefore, possible delay times range from 2 ms to 512
ms.

3.8.2.4 Gyroscope High Rate Interrupt
This interrupt is based on the comparison of angular rate data against a high-rate threshold
for the detection of shock or other high-angular rate events. The principle is made clear in
Figure 3 below:
Figure 3: High rate interrupt
The high-rate interrupt is enabled (disabled) per axis by writing 1 (0) to bits
GYRO_HIGH_RATE in the INT_EN register and for each axis by writing to the HR_X_AXIS,
HR_Y_AXIS, and HR_Z_AXIS, respectively in the GYR_INT_SETTING register. The high-
rate threshold is set through the HR_<axis>_Threshold bits in the appropriate
GYR_HR_<axis>_SET register. The meaning of an LSB of HR_<axis>_Threshold depends
on the selected /s-range: it corresponds to 62.5/s in 2000/s-range, 31.25/s in 1000/s-
range, 15.625/s in 500/s -range ). The HR_<axis>_Threshold register setting 0
corresponds to 62.26/s in 2000/s-range, 31.13/s in 1000/s-range, 15.56/s in 500/s-
range . Therefore the maximum value is 1999.76/s in 2000/s-range (999.87/s 1000/s-
range, 499.93/s in 500/s -range ).
A hysteresis can be selected by setting the HR_<axis>_THRES_HYST bits. Analogously to
threshold, the meaning of an LSB of HR_<axis>_THRES_HYST bits is /s-range dependent:
The HR_<axis>_THRES_HYST register setting 0 corresponds to an angular rate difference
of 62.26/s in 2000/s-range, 31.13/s in 1000/s-range, 15.56/s in 500/s-range . The
meaning of an LSB of HR_<axis>_THRES_HYST depends on the selected /s-range too: it
corresponds to 62.5/s in 2000/s-range, 31.25/s in 1000/s-range, 15.625/s in 500/s -
range ).
The high-rate interrupt is generated if the absolute value of the angular rate of at least one of
the enabled axes (or relation) is higher than the threshold for at least the time defined by
the GYR_DUR_<axis> register. The interrupt is reset if the absolute value of the angular rate
of all enabled axes (and relation) is lower than the threshold minus the hysteresis. In bit
GYR_HIGH_RATE in the INT_STA the interrupt status is stored. The relation between the
content of GYR_DUR_<axis> and the actual delay of the interrupt generation is delay [ms] =
[ GYR_DUR_<axis> + 1] * 2.5 ms. Therefore, possible delay times range from 2.5 ms to 640
ms.

3.8.2.5 Gyroscope Any Motion Interrupt
Any-motion (slope) detection uses the slope between successive angular rate signals to
detect changes in motion. An interrupt is generated when the slope (absolute value of
angular rate difference) exceeds a preset threshold. It is cleared as soon as the slope falls
below the threshold. The principle is made clear in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Principle of any-motion detection
The threshold is defined through register GYR_AM_THRES. In terms of scaling 1 LSB of

GYR_AM_THRES corresponds to 1 /s in 2000/s-range (0.5/s in 1000/s-range, 0.25/s in
500/s -range ). Therefore the maximum value is 125/s in 2000/s-range (62.5/s
1000/s-range, 31.25 in 500/s -range ).
The time difference between the successive angular rate signals depends on the selected
update rate(fs) which is coupled to the bandwidth and equates to 1/(4*fs) (t=1/(4*fs)). For
bandwidth settings with an update rate higher than 400Hz (bandwidth =0,1,2) fs is set to
400Hz.
In order to suppress false triggers, the interrupt is only generated (cleared) if a certain
number N of consecutive slope data points is larger (smaller) than the slope threshold given
by GYR_AM_THRES. This number is set by the Slope Samples bits in the GYR_AM_SET
register. It is N = [Slope Samples + 1]*4. N is set in samples. Thus the time is scaling with the
update rate (fs).

3.8.2.6 Enabling (disabling) for each axis

Any-motion detection can be enabled (disabled) for each axis separately by writing 1 (0)
to bits AM_X_AXIS, AM_Y_AXIS, AM_Z_AXIS in the GYR_INT_SETTING register. The
criteria for any-motion detection are fulfilled and the Any-Motion interrupt is generated if the
slope of any of the enabled axes exceeds the threshold GYR_AM_THRES for [Slope
Samples+1]*4 consecutive times. As soon as the slopes of all enabled axes fall or stay below
this threshold for [Slope Samples +1]*4 consecutive times the interrupt is cleared unless
interrupt signal is latched.
3.8.2.7 Axis of slope / any motion interrupt

3.10 Boot loader
The boot loader is located at the start of the program memory and it is executed at each
reset / power-on sequence. It first checks the status of the nBOOT_LOAD_PIN.
If the nBOOT_LOAD_PIN is pulled low during reset / power-on sequence, it continues

execution in boot loader mode. Otherwise the device continues to boot in application mode.
In case there is a firmware update, then an application note would be available in time with
the necessary information to upgrade at the host side. Nevertheless it is recommended that
the nBOOT_LOAD_PIN is connected as shown in section 5.

3.11 Calibration
Though the sensor fusion software runs the calibration algorithm of all the three sensors
(accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer) in the background to remove the offsets,
some preliminary steps had to be ensured for this automatic calibration5 to take place.
The accelerometer and the gyroscope are relatively less susceptible to external
disturbances, as a result of which the offset is negligible. Whereas the magnetometer is
susceptible to external magnetic field and therefore to ensure proper heading accuracy, the
calibration steps described below have to be taken.
Depending on the sensors been selected in the fusion mode, the following simple steps had
to be taken after every Power on Reset for proper calibration of the device.
3.11.1 Accelerometer Calibration

Place the device in 6 different stable positions for a period of few seconds to allow the
accelerometer to calibrate.
Make sure that there is slow movement between 2 stable positions
The 6 stable positions could be in any direction, but make sure that the device is lying at
least once perpendicular to the x, y and z axis.
The register CALIB_STAT can be read to see the calibration status of the accelerometer.
3.11.2 Gyroscope Calibration

Place the device in a single stable position for a period of few seconds to allow the
gyroscope to calibrate
The register CALIB_STAT can be read to see the calibration status of the gyroscope.
3.11.3 Magnetometer Calibration

Magnetometer in general are susceptible to both hard-iron and soft-iron distortions, but
majority of the cases are rather due to the former. And the steps mentioned below are to
calibrate the magnetometer for hard-iron distortions.
Nevertheless certain precautions need to be taken into account during the positioning of the
sensor in the PCB which is described in our HSMI (Handling, Soldering and Mounting
Instructions) application note to avoid unnecessary magnetic influences.
Compass, M4G & NDOF_FMC_OFF:

Make some random movements (for example: writing the number 8 on air) until the
CALIB_STAT register indicates fully calibrated.
It takes more calibration movements to get the magnetometer calibrated than in the NDOF
mode.
NDOF:
The same random movements have to be made to calibrate the sensor as in the
FMC_OFF mode, but here it takes relatively less calibration movements (and slightly
higher current consumption) to get the magnetometer calibrated.
The register CALIB_STAT can be read to see the calibration status of the magnetometer.

It is not possible to disable the automatic calibration which runs in the background

3.11.4 Reuse of Calibration Profile
Once the device is calibrated, the calibration profile can be reused to get the correct
orientation data immediately after Power of Reset (prior to going through the steps
mentioned in the above section). However, once the sensor enters the internal calibration
routine, the calibration profile is overwritten with the newly obtained sensor offsets and
sensor radius. Depending on the application, necessary steps had to be ensured for proper
calibration of the sensor.
Reading Calibration profile

The calibration profile includes sensor offsets and sensor radius. Host system can read the
offsets and radius only after a full calibration is achieved and the operation mode is switched
to CONFIG_MODE. Refer to sensor offsets and sensor radius registers.
Setting Calibration profile

It is important that the correct offsets and corresponding sensor radius are used. Incorrect
offsets may result in unreliable orientation data even at calibration accuracy level 3. To set
the calibration profile the following steps need to be taken
1. Select the operation mode to CONFIG_MODE
2. Write the corresponding sensor offsets and radius data
3. Change operation mode to fusion mode

4. Register description
4.1 General Remarks
The entire communication with the device is performed by reading from and writing to
registers. Registers have a width of 8 bits. There are several registers which are either
completely or partially marked as reserved. Any reserved bit is ignored when it is written and
no specific value is guaranteed when read. It is recommended not to use registers at all
which are completely marked as reserved. Furthermore it is recommended to mask out
(logical and with zero) reserved bits of registers which are partially marked as reserved.
Read-Only Registers are marked as shown in Table 4-1: Register Access Coding. Any
attempt to write to these registers is ignored.
There are bits within some registers that trigger internal sequences. These bits are
configured for write-only access and read as value 0.

Data sheet Page 51
4.2 Register map

The register map is separated into two logical pages, Page 1 contains sensor specific
configuration data and Page 0 contains all other configuration parameters and output data.
At power-on Page 0 is selected, the PAGE_ID register can be used to identify the current
selected page and change between page 0 and page 1.

4.5 Digital Interface

The BNO055 supports two digital interfaces for communication between the salve and host
device: I2C which supports the HID-I2C protocol and I2C Standard and Fast modes; and the
UART interface.
The active interface is selected by the state of the protocol select pins (PS1 and PS0), Table
4-4 shows the mapping between the protocol select pins and the selected interface mode.

0 1 HID over I2C
1 0 UART Interface
1 1 Reserved
It is not allowed to keep the protocol select pins floating.
Both digital interfaces share partially the same pins, the pin mapping for each interface is
shown in Table 4-5.

4.6 I2C Protocol

The IC bus uses SCL (= SCx pin, serial clock) and SDA (= SDx pin, serial data input and
output) signal lines. Both lines are connected to VDDIO externally via pull-up resistors so that
they are pulled high when the bus is free.
The IC interface of the BNO055 is compatible with the IC Specification UM10204 Rev. 03
(19 June 2007), available at http://www.nxp.com. The BNO055 supports IC standard mode
and fast mode, only 7-bit address mode is supported. The BNO055 IC interface uses clock
stretching.
The default IC address of the BNO055 device is 0101001b (0x29). The alternative address
0101000b (0x28), in I2C mode the input pin COM3 can be used to select between the
primary and alternative I2C address as shown in Table 4-7.

Figure 5: IC timing diagram
The IC protocol works as follows:
START: Data transmission on the bus begins with a high to low transition on the SDA line
while SCL is held high (start condition (S) indicated by IC bus master). Once the START
signal is transferred by the master, the bus is considered busy.
STOP: Each data transfer should be terminated by a Stop signal (P) generated by master.
The STOP condition is a low to HIGH transition on SDA line while SCL is held high.
ACK: Each byte of data transferred must be acknowledged. It is indicated by an
acknowledge bit sent by the receiver. The transmitter must release the SDA line (no pull
down) during the acknowledge pulse while the receiver must then pull the SDA line low so
that it remains stable low during the high period of the acknowledge clock cycle.
In the following diagrams these abbreviations are used:

S Start
P Stop
ACKS Acknowledge by slave
ACKM Acknowledge by master
NACKM Not acknowledge by master
RW Read / Write
A START immediately followed by a STOP (without SCL toggling from VDDIO to GND) is
not supported. If such a combination occurs, the STOP is not recognized by the device.
IC write access:
IC write access can be used to write a data byte in one sequence. The sequence begins
with start condition generated by the master, followed by 7 bits slave address and a write bit
(RW = 0). The slave sends an acknowledge bit (ACK = 0) and releases the bus. Then the
master sends the one byte register address. The slave again acknowledges the transmission
BNO055
Data sheet Page 93
and waits for the 8 bits of data which shall be written to the specified register address. After
the slave acknowledges the data byte, the master generates a stop signal and terminates the
writing protocol.

Figure 6: IC write
IC read access:
IC read access also can be used to read one or multiple data bytes in one sequence. A read
sequence consists of a one-byte IC write phase followed by the IC read phase. The two
parts of the transmission must be separated by a repeated start condition (Sr). The IC write
phase addresses the slave and sends the register address to be read. After slave
acknowledges the transmission, the master generates again a start condition and sends the
slave address together with a read bit (RW = 1). Then the master releases the bus and waits
for the data bytes to be read out from slave. After each data byte the master has to generate
an acknowledge bit (ACK = 0) to enable further data transfer. A NACKM (ACK = 1) from the
master stops the data being transferred from the slave. The slave releases the bus so that
the master can generate a STOP condition and terminate the transmission.
The register address is automatically incremented and, therefore, more than one byte can be
sequentially read out. Once a new data read transmission starts, the start address will be set
to the register address specified in the latest IC write command. By default the start address
is set at 0x00. In this way repetitive multi-bytes reads from the same starting address are
possible.

4.8 HID over I2C

HID over I2C is a standard interface protocol to connect devices with hosts via I2C. The main
advantage of HID is that there exist generic drivers for different input devices (such as
sensors) which can be used with sensors that implement the corresponding well defined HID
profiles. HID over I2C describes how messages (reports and events) are exchanged
between the device and the host. A descriptor of the structure of these reports is provided by
the device and read by the host during initialization of the device at host system start.
For detailed information on HID please refer to the HID over I2C documentation from
Microsoft.

5.5 XOUT32 & XIN32 Connections

The BNO055 can run from an internal or external 32 KHz clock source. By default, the
internal clock is selected.
An External clock can be selected by setting bit CLK_SEL in the SYSTEM_TRIGGER
register. An external 32 KHz crystal oscillator has to be connected to the pins XIN32 and
XOUT32 as shown below.
To get the best performance out of BNO055, it is recommended to use the external crystal.

Pin Name Recommended Pin Connection Description

XIN32 Load capacitor 22pF89 Timer oscillator input
XOUT32 Load capacitor 22pF89 Timer oscillator output
5.5.2 Internal clock mode
The internal clock can be selected by clearing bit CLK_SEL in the SYSTEM_TRIGGER
register. When an internal clock is used, both pins XIN32 and XOUT32 can be left open. The
internal clock of the BNO055 can have clock deviation up to +3%

6.3 Soldering Guidelines

The moisture sensitivity level of the BNO055 sensors corresponds to JEDEC Level 1, see
also
- IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C "Joint Industry Standard: Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity

Classification for non-hermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices"
- IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033A "Joint Industry Standard: Handling, Packing, Shipping and Use
of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface Mount Devices"
The sensor fulfils the lead-free soldering requirements of the above-mentioned IPC/JEDEC
standard, i.e. reflow soldering with a peak temperature up to 260C.
6.4 Handling instructions

Micromechanical sensors are designed to sense acceleration with high accuracy even at low
amplitudes and contain highly sensitive structures inside the sensor element. The MEMS
sensor can tolerate mechanical shocks up to several thousand g's. However, these limits
might be exceeded in conditions with extreme shock loads such as e.g. hammer blow on or
next to the sensor, dropping of the sensor onto hard surfaces etc.
We recommend avoiding g-forces beyond the specified limits during transport, handling and
mounting of the sensors in a defined and qualified installation process.
This device has built-in protections against high electrostatic discharges or electric fields
(e.g. 2kV HBM); however, anti-static precautions should be taken as for any other CMOS
component. Unless otherwise specified, proper operation can only occur when all terminal
voltages are kept within the supply voltage range. Unused inputs must always be tied to a
defined logic voltage level.
For more details on recommended handling, soldering and mounting please contact your
local Bosch Sensortec sales representative and ask for the Handling, soldering and
mounting instructions document.

(RoHS and RoHS2) directive, see also:
Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January

2003
on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment.
6.6.1 Halogen content

The BNO055 is halogen-free. For more details on the analysis results please contact your
Bosch Sensortec representative.
6.6.2 Internal package structure

Within the scope of Bosch Sensortecs ambition to improve its products and secure the mass
product supply, Bosch Sensortec qualifies additional sources (e.g. 2nd source) for the LGA
package of the BNO055.
While Bosch Sensortec took care that all of the technical packages parameters are described
above are 100% identical for all sources, there can be differences in the chemical content
and the internal structural between the different package sources.
However, as secured by the extensive product qualification process of Bosch Sensortec, this
has no impact to the usage or to the quality of the BMNO55 product.
